"It was really beautiful. Everyone kept on trying to move [Johnny] on, but he kept on coming back," Rachel Bennett added. "He came on the condition that he wasn't pushed along and crowded by adults and he could spend as much time as he wanted with the kids."
Johnny gave Max several gold coins engraved with a pirate's head before visiting kids receiving treatment in the rehabilitation center. "He tied a knot in his hair to make a beard," Max said, adding, "That was my favorite part."
